BMW want initially position X6 above X5 - as more sporty vehicle with more powerful engines & better performance.

So expect X5 (US model) to get new engines (incl. diesels) eg in 2008.

More interesting: Europe is getting X5 3.0sd with 286HP already this Fall.
Eni,

I heard the N54 will be in the X5 by the end of this year as 2008 model.
The same person couldn't confirm if we will get the X5 3.0sd in the US by the end of the year as 2008 model.
I am anxiously waiting for confirmation on the diesel model because I need to get X5 for the wife by the end of the year.
Do you have any information if we will get the diesel models in the US before Jan-2008?
